hi all, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
first: i hope this is the right list now. previously i sent this |
| 7 |
message to desktop@gentoo which definitely seemed to be wrong. |
| 8 |
now i was told to send it to gentoo-dev@gentoo. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
second: thanks to all developers of gentoo linux. i already |
| 11 |
tried quite many linux and *bsd distros and the impression i |
| 12 |
have from gentoo linux so far is a very positive one. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
now to my question: i installed gentoo on my clean sony vaio |
| 15 |
n505x notebook. everything worked pretty well during the |
| 16 |
installation but there is an error when it comes to networking |
| 17 |
with my accton en2216 pccard. it fails loading the particular |
| 18 |
pcnet_cs module. as a consequence all other networking things |
| 19 |
are not working too. if i do a 'modprobe pcnet_cs' there is in |
| 20 |
about the following error: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
linux pcmcia card services 3.1.26 |
| 23 |
kernel build: 2.4.4-ac9 #1 Sat Jun 30 14:23:25 Local time zone |
| 24 |
must be set--see zic manual page 2001 |
| 25 |
options: [pci] [cardbus] |
| 26 |
ds: no socket drivers loaded! |
| 27 |
/lib/modules/2.2.4-ac9/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not |
| 28 |
permitted Hint: insmod errors can be cause by incorrect module |
| 29 |
parameters, including ivalid io or irq parameters |
| 30 |
/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod |
| 31 |
/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9/pcmcia/ds.o failed |
| 32 |
unloading PCMCIA Card Services |
| 33 |
/lib/modules/2.4.4-ac9/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod pcnet_cs failed |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
if i do a plain 'insmod pcnet_cs' there are a lot of error |
| 36 |
messages about unresolved symbols. i already used the notebook |
| 37 |
including this nic working correctly with another distro, thus |
| 38 |
there is probably no hardware failure. i do not remember that i |
| 39 |
ever had to supply parameters for this module to work with this |
| 40 |
nic. |
| 41 |
afaik i did all according to the install guides of gentoo |
| 42 |
linux. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
i just wonder what this message about the missing local time |
| 45 |
zone is? i actually already created the symlink from |
| 46 |
/etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/MET. is there anything |
| 47 |
else to do with timezones? what might be the reasons for these |
| 48 |
errors and how can i fix or work around them to make networking |
| 49 |
work fine? |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
regards and thanks for your help. |
